George Opare Addo, the National Youth Organiser of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has minimized the importance of Vice President Biden's economic speech on Thursday.
Dr. Bawumia's talk on the health of the economy, according to the NDC youth leader, was devoid of substance. George Opare Addo: Bawumia does not merit a reaction from any discerning mind.
Opare Addo, in a Facebook post on Thursday, accused the present administration of overseeing an economic'mess,' implying that Bawumia's message is unworthy of a response.
"Fixing an economy isn't about talking about theories in books; it's about doing things." A six-year-old youngster can explain Ghana's economic narrative under Akufo-Addo/Bawumia.
It's a shambles, and Bawumia should not waste our collective time. After over six (6) years of putting him in charge, we know what he's capable of. "Any discerning mind should not respond to him," the post stated.
The NDC leader made the remarks in response to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia's speech, in which he praised the government's economic achievements.
Despite the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, the Vice President claims that the government has kept the economy's fundamentals in good shape, which has the potential to accelerate the country's development.
In his speech, he recognized the country's present economic issues and stated that the administration is dedicated to improving the situation.
"Today, our economy is experiencing rising gasoline prices, as well as rising prices for almost all goods such as bread, rice, sugar, sachet water, cement, iron rods, and so on." Prices are rising across the nation, from Malata market to Abofour market, Techiman Market, Takoradi market circle, Kpando, and virtually everywhere else," he stated.
He did say, however, that the economy's transition will take time and that it will not happen immediately.
